This is an experimental build of Rockbox that is not in any way associated with or developed by Innioasis/Timmkoo.
Most of the work was already done by the original Rockbox team - all credits to them.
I mostly added quick hacks to make this usable on a device without any touch inputs.

This is a multi-platform community-built tool for updating official firmware and installing custom firmware (which often includes this Rockbox port).
The Innioasis Updater was developed independently by TeamSlide without input from Innioasis/Timmkoo.
You can find it here: https://innioasis.app/
The firmware image included in the releases is based on multiwirth's firmware: https://github.com/multiwirth/Innioasis_Y1_system_dumps/releases/tag/custom_wifi_type_a_v0.2
- Download the latest Rockbox included firmware here: https://innioasis.app/firmware.html
- Unpack the archive
- Install SP Flash Tool v5.1904:
- Windows: included in the archive, alternatively: https://spflashtools.com/windows/sp-flash-tool-v5-1904
- Linux: https://spflashtools.com/linux/sp-flash-tool-v5-1904-for-linux
- Start SP Flash Tool
- Follow the official firmware flashing instructions but use the MT6572_Android_scatter.txt from the Project Gallagher archive
If, despite all warnings, you still want to try installing it manually you need to do the following:
- have an Innioasis Y1 with ADB enabled

wget https://supersuroot.org/downloads/supersu-2-82.apk
adb install supersu-2-82.apk
adb install Framaroot-1.9.3.apk
adb shell monkey -p com.alephzain.framaroot -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
# wait for it to start
adb shell input keyevent DPAD_DOWN
adb shell input keyevent DPAD_CENTER
# wait for the success message
adb shell monkey -p eu.chainfire.supersu -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
# follow instructions, once done
adb reboot
- Reboot device

- Update keymap file to be able to navigate systems menus
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl Generic.kl

- Download the latest Rockbox release APK from the sidebar
- Download the latest Rockbox libs.tar.gz and unpack it (
tar -xzf libs.tar.gz) such that there is a folder calledlibs/armeabi - Either use one of the preinstalled themes or supply your own in the .rockbox folder on the SD card
- Uninstall any apps you do not want
# list packages
adb shell pm list packages
# uninstall package
adb uninstall <package>
# or if that fails
adb shell pm disable-user <package>
- Uninstall old Rockbox version (can be skipped if v0.1 was never installed)
adb uninstall org.rockbox
- Install rockbox as system app:
adb remount
adb push rockbox-[release].apk /system/app/org.rockbox.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/org.rockbox.apk
adb shell chown root:root /system/app/org.rockbox.apk
adb push libs/armeabi/librockbox.so /system/lib/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/librockbox.so
adb shell chown root:root /system/lib/librockbox.so
adb shell rm -rf /data/data/org.rockbox/lib
adb shell mkdir /data/data/org.rockbox/lib
adb push libs/armeabi/* /data/data/org.rockbox/lib/.
- Restart the device, choose Rockbox as launcher when asked
adb reboot
- (optional) Download the voice pack from the releases, extract it, drag the .rockbox folder onto your device
- If rockbox gets stuck at the Rockbox logo and doesn't load your theme please delete .rockbox/config.cfg on your SD card
When you initialize the database Rockbox will ask you to restart. You can do this via Main Menu > System > Restart Rockbox (last option in list).
- Setting different theme might need a restart of Rockbox (Main Menu > System > Restart Rockbox) or clearing the backdrop (Theme Settings)
- Rockbox might randomly crash (usually recovers on its own now) - restart your device or Rockbox via:
adb shell monkey -p org.rockbox -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
